What’s Included in the Latest Update?
The “Stars of Iron” mod is actively developed, with each update bringing more nations into focus. Current additions include:
* **The Irish Free State:** Explore paths ranging from the Republican Party and United Party to the Blueshirts, Republican Army, Republican Congress, and Communist Party.
* **Luxembourg:** Navigate the challenges of a small nation surrounded by powerful neighbors with options like the Right Party, Republic, Communist Party, Bech dictatorship, Rexist, German, and Royal paths.
* **The Kingdom of Albania:** Take control through the Conservative Cabinet, Young Cabinet, Toto, Fascist, Republic, Orthodox Communist, or Hoxha paths.
The developers have indicated that many more hidden paths await discovery, with plans to expand into the Middle East, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South America, Central America, and Africa in future updates. The long-term vision is to create unique content for every releasable country within Hearts of Iron IV.
